Even if I have stopped the addition of new cards, my vocabulary reviews remain largely above 100 a day, which is a lot. It takes me around 1 hour to complete all my schedules every day. What are strategies I can implement to decrease the workload ?
Also, bonus question : how many sentence packs is there for N2 ? I am hesitating to open the next one due to the workload problem above.
Personally, when I had a lot and felt overwhelmed I would just do a quiz of 40 then call it a day. (If they're spread over multiple schedules I'd alternate which ones I did per day.)
Another angle is splitting up your time with quizzes. So you do a little bit here, a little bit there and then you don't have a big nasty chunk of an hour spent all in one sitting.
If you're continuing to learn more vocab you'll continually get more stuff to review. You could technically bump the mastery of words up to stop that but IDK. If you just practice them and get them right for a while, you'll get them less later, after a point barely at all. It's fine to let stuff simmer and work itself out sometimes IMO.
Go to the "more settings" page, and if you uncheck "Study as much as I can", you'll be able to enter a more personal desired study goal for each schedule. Maybe you can try it out~!
100 terms a day doesn’t seem that many to me, but I would be loathe to do it all in one sitting. If the quizzes are taking too long to complete, maybe it’s because you get bogged down midway. Try setting your quiz size to a smaller number that you can complete in just a few minutes.
I'm looking at some of my schedules having 500+ to review.
As we know from the default settings reviews will be added in kind of an exponential increase in interval until level 10 for the study vector.
If we're aiming on studying something new everyday, then the reviews will pile up as time goes by. There is an option to pause learning new terms as a solution, but it will impact our progress somewhat depending on our individual objectives and milestones.
The other ways can be visual changes in the setting on daily limit as suggested by previous posters. Another way could also be just to ignore and go at your own pace, don't mind the numbers, and be realistic to your capacity of effort input.
It's always daunting to look at the mountain we have to surmount, but a journey of a thousand miles begin with a single step. Count not how much you have left to do, but count how much you have accomplished. Steady pace, wins the race. It's better for the heart this way.
